I believe Watford, sometimes played Briggs as a centre back. That maybe his position, like Hudson who we played as fullback and plays centre back.
posted by martinwatson (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 7:06 PM I'd like to see Briggs played at Centre back, with his pace would make a good pacing centre half, only problem is I don't know he has the maturity or discipline required.
posted by Timmy! - Friday 24th May 2013, 12:31 AM Macdonald played for Old Cheyneans at left back before being picked up by Fulham.

I have this vague recollection of him being moved to centre forward for a midweek match against Leeds at the Cottage.

Bring bent shelvey fringpong and downing don't can't do any worse than what we got we need someone that can ping balls left right and centre if we get them all on a free does this mean we will still have money spare
posted by Till I die (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 12:52 PM I too think Shelvey would be a great signing, not sold on Downing as I believe he will play as a winger and not left back. But that being said I would take him. Bent would also be great. How about Faurlin from QPR? or Granero? or Huddlestone? I think any of these guys would make the midfield much improved. The weakest part of Fulham this season was the midfield by far.

Left back is a big concern also, but I cant think of any left backs Fulham could afford. Who played left back for Wigan?
posted by Caliyank (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 3:37 PM Beausejour plays left back for Wigan . dont think we need a left back though Riise BrIggs and Richardson are competing for that postion also some talk about Downing not sure we need another winger we have Frei Kacaniklic Dejagha Duff Smith . Sevely will be too expensive don't need Dunne or Givens would take Enoh permanently plenty of potential but definintely need creative midfielder and really fast partner for Berbetov then I think we are complete ?

posted by martinwatson (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 7:02 PM I think Espinosa plays left back for Wigan and would make a very good signing.

Am I wrong in saying that both Frei and Kaca are LM and Kaca has proved himself in that spot which he will soon dominate. We still have Duff and Dejagah challenging for RM and Richardson as a backup for LM so Frei is good to have on board but not really going to make a mark unless he can show he's made of sterner stuff and bulk up a bit

Good strong player I wouldn't mind him neither how about bentner he could also come on a free and frimgpong
posted by Til I die (Guest) - Wednesday 22nd May 2013, 11:31 PM Really I always thought he was crap! Just me?
posted by Cbffc (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 7:20 AM I agree. I wouldn't want Bendtner nor Shelvey - we have too many payers that find it difficult to put the ball in the net now - why buy more?
posted by MST (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 8:35 AM I agree also that Shelvey and Bentner are both rubbish, don't want either of those at Fulham, also I hope we don't go for Bent or Cole because they are not quality players either !

I'm not sure if 28 is an oldie ! Anyway it looks a good start now we need a creatIve midfielder a fast forward and make sure Schwarzer signs up for another couple of years
posted by FFC SUPPORTER (Guest) - Wednesday 22nd May 2013, 7:03 PM At least it shows that jol had a plan these quick deals must of been in the pipe line.
posted by Cbffc (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 7:23 AM I agree (Cbffc) for so may years we have waited until the last week before the season to make changes. Perhaps last year's debacle losing D & D at the last minute has spurred the club to get in quick and have the opportunity to let the new players get to know their teammates and surroundings before the big kick off in August. Personally I would rather have some signings early that pick up scraps at the last knocking like we did last year. I hope it signals a new resolve by M & M to push us up the league without falling back on loanees. I'm not holding my breath, but just quietly please ATM!

mcnamara's point that Fulham need to do something during the summer (not wait until it's over) is well taken but that apart, his article is one of 'copy to fill a space'.

It's merely a collection of old opinions and old news.

The suggestion that Jol does not have the dressing room with him is worrying but how does one ever know the reality. Sour comments from departing players can usually be ignored.

Winger?
posted by Hints - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 6:53 AM We only have Duff, Kaca and Dejagah left after all the loanees are gone , need at least one winger to provide competition
posted by Revy (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 8:56 AM We also have Frei so 4 wingers in total. Dont need any more or Kaca and Frei again wont get enough chances.

Its a another Striker, Left Back and Cmid we need then it all starts to look a little bit more positive.


posted by Adam (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 9:24 AM Agreed - no more wingers. Play maker and goalie depending on the Schwartzer/Stockdale situation, If we drop Petric and Rodellega another big. bloody nuisance striker to offset Berbatov and Ruiz. If Diarra gets back fit we could maybe do without the play maker and keep Karagounis for one more.

We've got an U19 team that won the Dallas and an U18 that won their comp. Something should come from that but maybe not next season.

















posted by Al (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 1:16 PM Maybe you guys are right, but I am not sure about Frei being a regular, and what happens when Duff is injured, he is a good player but very near his expiry date, we were obviously affected by Dejagah's injury right at the end of the season... talking about youngsters, even though we still need to sign a striker, still would love to see Trotta get a bit of game next season :)
posted by Revy (Guest) - Thursday 23rd May 2013, 8:22 PM Oh yes and try and hang on to Enoh.
